Orthopedic Periosteal Elevator 9.0 mm Tip 22.5 cm (9)

Angled Zygoma Elevator for Controlled Surgical Access

The Gillies zygoma elevator is a hand-held surgical elevator designed for lifting and repositioning zygomatic bone during appropriate operative procedures. Its angled configuration and 9.0 mm wide, 35.0 mm long blade support access where a straight instrument may be less convenient, while the Gutsch handle provides a familiar format for controlled manual handling. At 8 7/8 inches overall, it offers useful reach for selected ENT and general surgery workflows involving the zygomatic region. The focused blade dimensions help clinicians select an elevator suited to the access requirements of the procedure without adding unnecessary bulk to the instrument set.

Use Cases

• Lifting or repositioning the zygoma during appropriate ENT procedures involving the facial skeleton.
• Supporting bone elevation tasks in general surgery when a zygoma elevator is indicated.
• Using the angled blade to approach the operative site where access or instrument orientation benefits from an offset profile.
• Applying controlled manual leverage with the 9.0 mm wide blade during appropriate surgical handling of the zygomatic region.

Care & Reprocessing

• Clean and reprocess the instrument according to facility protocols and the applicable manufacturer instructions for use.
• Inspect the angled blade, edges, and Gutsch handle before and after use for visible damage, deformation, residue, or compromised handling surfaces.
• Handle the blade carefully during cleaning, transport, and setup to avoid contact damage or unintended bending.
• Store the elevator in a manner that protects the blade and prevents it from striking or being compressed by other instruments.
